MA9-03290

The claimant failed to establish the objective element of a well-founded fear of persecution because country conditions in Bangladesh have changed (notably the 2008 election of a secular government and reported police reforms) and adequate state protection is available; therefore he is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
